Bisphenol A (BPA) in Lois Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of Bisphenol A (BPA) in the Water Supply of Lois Florida Homes

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a man-made compound used in some plastics and resins that can occasionally appear in water in very small amounts. Most people hear about BPA in food packaging, but it can also come into contact with water during manufacturing, storage or transport of plastic-lined products. Because it’s a trace contaminant, you usually won’t detect it by taste, smell or clarity, so many Lois homeowners choose to limit exposure in their tap water as a precaution.

BPA is often treated as an “emerging” contaminant — present at low concentrations that basic sediment filters may not remove. It can get into water through contact with certain plastics, coatings or other pathways that affect source waters. Swapping kitchen items for BPA-free alternatives helps, but won’t treat the water coming into your house. For Lois households, a whole-house system ensures consistent treated water for cooking, drinking, bathing and laundry rather than relying on a single faucet solution.
